Veteran German house music producer Marvin Dash debuts on the Workshop series, with the polished and sophisticated 'Untitled 1' giving way to low-slung, low-fi grooves on the flip - the grungy wild-pitch style of 'Untitled 2' being our favourite. Ace!

Alexis Benard appears once more as on esteemed Paris house label Circus Company, 'Lutetia' warm and shuffly heady house with attention to soulful detail, 'Don't Trust' wistful addictive vocals over tense chords. Stylish, immaculately produced house music with a melancholic-euphoric edge.

After the peak-time 'Kings Cross' from the beginning of the month, Snuff Crew tone it down a notch for 'Winter In June', a deep and sweetly swinging acid house track to which BPitch Control's Dance Disorder provide an even more summery Balearic neo-disco take. Ace!

Machinedrum returns to LuckyMe with an EP that tones down the footwork factor in favour of an entire palette of cut-up r'n'b, deep and funky house flavours, heavy with chords and vocal snippets. Excellent, as everything Travis Stewart touches at the moment.

Session Victim do it again: The Berlin-Hamburg duo of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling follow up their recent hit, 'Left the Building', with another EP of first-class, disco-informed house music that gets two sped-up classic house remakes by Gerd, seriously tailored for the dance-floor.
